I already look, and you are right about ebay motors. And also found some nice pics as I wanted, thanks to a member of my club.

Ebay motors can be another good source for photos. Many people post a lot of good photos good for detailing your models. Not usually a lot of engine pics, but when you get into performance or custom cars where the motor is a selling feature they will frequently include several shots of the motor.

another resources is if went to an automotive store and bought a repair manual for a car that has the engine and tranny that you are looking for. granted the pictures will be in black and white but you will get detailed drawings.

Not in color.  I'm not sure about posting pix from the book, copyrights and all.

I bought a copy of Hemi, History of the Chrysler Hemi V-8 Engine and Hemi Powered Cars by Anthony Young from Borders Bookstore years ago, it has been quite helpful.

 

Thank you! 

 Do you have also the other side of the engine?

Ok thank you for the color suggestion, but about linkage for the trans?

four speed shift linkage is actually a cadium plated steel like the carb linkage is. That's sort of a yellowish silver. The transmission kickdown linage for the automatic is also painted the same colors too. This will go from the back carb to the driver's side of the automatic transmission (real men hate automatics). If your building a bench seat car remember the shape of the shifter is much different (kind of an "S shape"). The bucket seat cars used a funky looking short shifter that most never liked. There was another gear shifter setup that used the basic Hurst Competition Plus shifter, but raised it up a little higher and set it back even with the parting line for the tail shaft housing. The actual shifter rods were also twice as big in diameter. This one had to have the floor board cut open and had a seperate reverse gear lever. To the best of my knowledge this was only offered on the Chrysler four speed cars, and was primarly used for race cars, but found it's home on the street.

I don't find about the transmission.

if the transmission is an automatic, then it will be painted silver. Four speeds are usually a cast iron case, but there were a few built with aluminum cases, and an even fewer bunch built with an alloy tail shaft housing. A good rule of thethumb is that it the car is heavy or is making a lot of power it will have the cast iron gear box. But if the car is light weight it could well have the alloy cased transmission

the engine (street hemi) will have the block, heads, and intake painted orange (water pump and oil pump housing as well). Carbs are silver (they never sold a single four barrel hemi for the street). The linkage for the carb and transmission are silver. Coil is black as well as the rubber covers over the spark plug tubes. All brackets are also painted orange except for the alternator. Valve covers are painted a black wrinkle finish. They're kinda generic looking when alltogether.

Google up the various old Dodges where the street hemis were installed.

 I would like to make some detail on a engine I have, because it will be outside the car.

 

Searching images on google is not working well, I already look.

reason I asked is that I know where three engines will be going together sometime after the first of the year. One thing you have to think about is wether it's a street hemi, race hemi, or a circle track motor. Unless they use an after market intake and a reworked oiling system the rest is pretty much generic on the outside with one small exception
